*ACTIVITY OF THE WEEK* This week’s activity of the week is our Sunflower field! We have multiple fields of sunflowers that will be in bloom at select times during our season.
IMPORTANT: If you’re wanting to visit our sunflower field this fall, *this weekend* is your best opportunity. Our first field is in FULL bloom now (and absolutely stunning!!!), but we are not sure how they will look by the next weekend. While we do have other fields that will bloom later, this one is BY FAR the prettiest
Here’s how to see the sunflowers......all you need is a $6 Corn Maze ticket to visit the sunflower field! It includes:
🌻Access to the sunflower field.
🌻Access to the zinnia field.
🌻Access to the 4 Acre Corn Maze.
🌻2 U-Pick Sunflowers
🌻5 U-Pick Zinnias
Tip: If you’re wanting to do a bunch of other fall activities while you’re here, we recommend getting the $22 Fun Pass since it includes the corn maze ticket along with lots of other fall fun.
📸Photographers are welcome! You and your clients would just need the Corn Maze ticket to access the field.
🦋Quick note about the Butterfly Release this Saturday, September 6th at 11am. We only have 7 butterflies left! Order yours online before they are gone.
It’s such a HAPPY DAY! Our 🟢Paintball Shooting: Groundhog Invasion🟢 addition is finally complete! We are thrilled to reveal this new attraction located at our pumpkin farm in Dry Ridge, KY.
📖The pumpkin patch is under siege! A sneaky band of groundhogs has taken over the farm—holed up in the cabin, the outhouse, even the clothesline. It’s up to *you* to help Farmer Matt blast ‘em back underground (with paintballs, of course). Lock and load. Aim true. Save the squash!
We began this addition all the way back in March of this year. Matt did an amazing job building this structure to house our 10 paintball guns which are mounted for safety. Over the months we have worked on creating a field of awesome targets for you to shoot paintballs at. This is a blast for preschoolers all the way up to grandparents. We invite you to come try it out starting THIS SATURDAY, September 6th!
🎟️Ticket Info🎟️
- 170 paintballs are included in our new Mega Ticket (available online only)
- 10 paintballs are included in our Fun Pass
- Paintball packages can be purchased on their own. $10 for 90 shots or $16 for 170 shots.
🎟Tickets are live online!🎟 We’d like to take a moment to explain our ticket levels - particularly because this year we have added a new ticket that is available to purchase ONLINE ONLY.
The new Mega Ticket is perfect for when you want to *GO BIG*on fall fun! It includes all the Fun Pass activities, PLUS 170 paintballs, PLUS a carving pumpkin! We know this ticket level isn’t for everyone, BUT if you were planning to do those things anyway, it does offer a $5 savings over purchasing the paintballs and pumpkin separately.
Hopefully this chart is helpful to you!
Also, keep in mind, some activities like paintball, corn maze, hayrides, and barrel trains are still available to purchase separately outside of ticket bundles like these.

In the midst of all the set up, we also had to irrigate pumpkins the last few days. That wasn’t necessarily on our bingo card for the week, but it needed to be done to help save our pumpkin crop! Since we don’t do it often, it’s actually a huge ordeal dragging out all the irrigation pipe, moving it from field to field, and fighting with a pump that doesn’t want to work all the time. 😂

*ACTIVITY OF THE WEEK* It’s time to get this party started! 🎉 Every Thursday, we’re shining the spotlight on one of our amazing attractions and activities. This week, it’s all about our *hayride*! 🚜
We’re not just talking any old hayride, folks. Oh no, we’re leveling up! 💥 We’ve got a brand new audio system that’ll give you fun facts about our farm, crops, and animals while you’re cruisin’ through our scenic farm. Don’t worry, we won’t put you to sleep with a boring lecture 😴. It will be fun, short, and sweet!! 😊
On Saturdays and Sundays, you’ll have two hayride options: our regular 20-minute ride or our U-Pick Pumpkin Hayrides (which will run at set times, so stay tuned for those details). Who’s ready for some hayride fun? 🎉
We’ve got a pumpkin and sunflower update for you this morning!
🎃 The pumpkins are coming right along! We found some nice Cinderella pumpkins in the field the other night that are already orange. We’ve also planted lots of jack-o-lanterns, pie pumpkins, minis, gourds, and white pumpkins!
🌻Our first planting of sunflowers is looking really great again this year! They are about two feet tall and have buds starting to form. We are hoping they will be in bloom for our opening day September 6th (and not too long before!). If you know anything about sunflowers, they notoriously like to bloom on their own schedule! 🤣 #pumpkinpatch #pumpkinfarm #pumpkinseason #🎃 #sunflowers #sunflowerfield #upicksunflowers #dryridgekentucky #dryridgeky #northernkentucky #nky #fallfestival #arkencounter
*STAY & PLAY PROMOTION* As you may know, we have three cozy vacation rentals here on our beautiful farm! Book you stay during our fall season (September 6th - November 1st) to receive FREE passes to Pumpkin Ridge (play areas, petting zoo, and more!) for your family!
What a dream, right? You can STAY at a pumpkin patch during the fall. It’s the most beautiful time of year! 😍

🏠 Alpine Hills Swiss Haven - sleeps 6

Here’s what we’ve been up to last week! We’re at the point where every day is packed full of Country Pumpkins prep! Sometimes is visible progress like setting up new attractions, and sometimes it’s behind the scenes work like scheduling field trips and designing flyers. So much to do to make it all come together!
✅ We’ve come a long way on setting up our new paintball attraction. It’s looking AMAZING! Thank you to our email subscribers who helped us out on our paintball poll last week. You guys are awesome! As you scroll through the photos you’ll see a new outhouse target that Matt built, mounting the paintball guns, and setting up targets. There are some cool reveals in the photos you don’t want to miss!
✅ Our daughter, Caroline, of @carolinescreationsslime is making the soy candles and wax melts for our gift shop this fall!! She’s been busy building up her inventory after many months of research and testing. We are so excited to share her amazing candles with you!
✅ Shelley finished the Jack-o-lantern grain bin and even added a message on the side. After thinking that project was done weeks ago, we decided to take the orange paint all the way around and add the message.
✅ Our sunflowers are looking fantastic so far. We hope they will be in bloom by opening day (and not too long before that! 🤣)

Do you like seeing behind-the-scenes updates? We’ve got some more for you! We had a productive weekend working on fall set up. 🥳
Scroll on through the photos to see what we’ve been up to!
✅ See that cute little building? Matt found that on Facebook Marketplace! It will be part of the targets for our NEW paintball shooting gallery. This is exactly the look we were going for. You’ll really see that new attraction coming together over the next couple weeks.
✅ The little building needed a good pressure wash. Next, we’ll put a wood sealant on it.
✅ Remember the tires we got from a friend last week? Matt painted those in preparation for turning them into a cool photo spot!
✅ While he had his handy dandy paint sprayer out, we also got a fresh coat of paint on the old shed by Chunkin’ Pumpkin.
✅ Shelley finished the sunflower grain bin painting!
✅ We got the little building moved into place. Not easy 😳 but we made it!
✅ Take a look at the photos to see what we found in the pumpkin patch this weekend!
✅ Caught a couple rule-breakers in another new photo spot…… 🤣

We are back home from an incredible farm tour in the Toronto area! We visited 7 farms over 2 days. WOW! These farmers are all doing a spectacular job. We learned so much, ate so many delicious treats, and had so much fun! We are always looking for new ways we can grow our farm and make it better. So thankful we were able to take this trip. Now it’s back to work here at the farm. There’s no place like home!❤️ #torontocanada #farmtour #bustour #canada #nafdma

We’d love to see you here! Please help spread the word by sharing this with your crafy friends. Comment if you want the registration link!

Look what we found in the zinnia field last night exactly 48 hours after planting! Tiny little zinnias are beginning to break through the soil already. Isn’t that amazing?! It’s such a miracle that in just 2 days this went from being a seed to a baby plant. Never gets old!
🎃Also, we have a pumpkin update.🎃 Matt spent hours cultivating pumpkin fields yesterday morning to help with weed control. It’s a never ending battle it seems! 🤣 While out there working, he determined that several fields of pumpkins had not come up well. He rounded up some helpers and got them replanted. Not fun to do the work twice, but hopefully these will do well and it will be worth it!
It was such a beautiful evening last night for planting some zinnias. Last year, we planted a small strip along our sunflower field on a whim and fell in LOVE! What a gorgeous, long-blooming flower! We decided right then and there that we needed a lot more zinnias this year.
Last night we planted an area along the side of our Fairy Tale Trail out on Pumpkin Ridge. We can’t wait to see how these “California Giants” turn out! 🌼
We’ll be planting more behind the corn maze near our sunflowers too! 🌻 (The plan is to get our first field of sunflowers planted in the next 10 days or so.)

Good morning! 🌽It’s corn maze cutting day here at the farm!!!🌽 Matt, Caleb Lipps, and Wesley Simpson were up and at it early this morning. They got the maze design marked out and are almost done mowing the paths already! Great work guys!
🗓️We are excited to share our maze with you this fall during our Country Pumpkins Fall Festival starting September 6th! #cornmaze #cornmazecuttingday #cornmazeadventures #fallfestival #pumpkinpatch #dryridgekentucky #northernkentucky #familyfarm
Last week we did a test round at our paintball gallery to make sure we have the height right and to plan where to place our targets! We will have a total of 10 paintball guns and lots of great targets. Hit it with your best shot at Country Pumpkins in Dry Ridge, KY this fall! #paintball #paintballshooting #paintballshootingrange #pumpkinfarm #fallfestival
Big thank you to this crew for helping us get some more pumpkins planted yesterday! It was hot, but we wanted to get them planted while we had some moisture in the ground.
Just a few more fields to plant then we will be done! 🎃🎃🎃 We stagger our plantings so we have fresh pumpkins available throughout our fall season.
We took advantage of the longest day of the year and took a walk through the farm at 9:30 last night! It was so beautiful and peaceful. Happy Summer, friends! So far we’ve got the corn and 2/3 of the pumpkins planted. July will be a busy month planting sunflowers and zinnias, working on photo spots, and lots more to prepare for our fall season! (Also we’ll be hitting the road to tour some other farms and learn from them - more on that soon!)
Our corn is up and looking amazing with this hot weather and rain! We got a good soaking rain yesterday morning - about 1.3”! Corn was happy last night! We’re having to keep a close eye on this field so we can get our maze design cut before it grows too tall. #cornmaze #cornmaze🌽 #pumpkinfarm #fallfestival
🧶Calling all crafters and vendors!!!🎨 Registration for our 2025 Fall Vendor Fair is now LIVE! This year our event will be held on Saturday, September 27th from 10am - 4pm. ✏️Register at the link in our profile!✏️
In addition to our regular vendors, this fall we will be adding a Mini Makers section to our event. Young entrepreneurs ages 5 - 17 will be eligible to set up in this special area for a reduced fee. They must do the interacting with the customers, not the parents. A parent / adult must be present to supervise. Space is extremely limited!
We wanted to catch up on sharing photos of our paintball shooting gallery progress so far!
This new attraction will feature 10 paintball guns that are mounted in place (our final set up will look a little bit different than these photos because we’re not done building yet). The mounts have “stops” preventing them from being turned too far.
You’ll get to shoot at tons of fun targets out in the field. It is a safe, and super fun attraction that we are SO EXCITED about!
*MYSTERY ATTRACTION REVEAL!* Well, the news it out!!! We are officially adding a paintball shooting gallery for this fall! We purchased 10 paintball guns that we will mount in this structure. We’re planning lots of super cool “targets” that we think will take this attraction to this next level. This will be safe and fun for all ages! Thank you everyone for sharing in our excitement!#paintball #farmfun #fallfestival #familyfarm
We’re happy to share that we finished planting Caroline’s apple orchard on March 14th! Here are some photos of the process that we haven’t posted yet. What a learning experience!
We’ve planted four apple varieties that will hopefully begin producing in about three years:
🍎 Crimson Crisp
🍎 Fuji
🍎 Granny Smith
🍎 Ruby Rush
Here’s a re-cap of our Apple Orchard progress so far!
🍎 Support trellis posts are set.
🍎 140 holes are marked.
🍎 Matt got about half of the holes dug yesterday.
🍎 Our 140 dwarf trees will be delivered today!!!
We are so thankful for the absolutely gorgeous, dry weather for planting the trees this week! #appleorchard
Friday we attended the Gold Medal food expo in Sharonville, OH. The kids look forward to this every year - I think you can see why! 😂😂😂 We got to see different concession equipment and supplies in action at this event. We have a new food addition in mind for this year….hopefully we can make it happen. 🤞
This coming week is a HUGE, exciting week for us! Our apple trees should be arriving on Tuesday and we will plant them Wednesday! We’ll share the whole process with you here. Stay tuned.
🍎Apple Orchard Update🍎 Matt has a cool story about the support posts for our orchard - you won’t believe where they came from! Since we are planting dwarf trees, they require a trellis system to keep them stable and to support the weight of the fruit in the future. Three strands of high-tensile wire will be run from post to post and the trees will be clipped to them. #appleorchard #storytime #familyfarm
🍎Apple Orchard Update!🍎 How would you guys like more video content from us?! We’re going to try to get better about that! Today Matt is sharing an update about the apple trees we will be planting this spring including where and when we will be planting them! (Side note, when he says we sold our cows he’s talking about himself. His parents Dean and Debbie still have lots of dairy and beef cattle here on the farm.) 😄 #appletrees #appleorchard
🍎BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!!🍎 If you got the email newsletter that we sent out at the end of January, you’ve probably already heard this exciting news!
Recently we found out that our county offers a grant for 4-H aged kids to receive partial funding for special horticulture / agriculture projects. Our daughter, Caroline, applied for the grant and was accepted!
She will be using this grant (with dad & mom’s help) to start a u-pick apple orchard here at our farm!!! We’ve been dreaming about growing apples for a while (this is actually a very common request that we get), and it seems it’s finally all coming together. We plan to plant 140 dwarf apple trees this spring. From what we understand, they should be ready to harvest in 3-4 years if all goes well.
We should be getting the trees and planting them within the next couple weeks to a month. We’re excited to share the whole experience with you! Stay tuned!
Hello! We’re here with a little update on what we’ve been up to lately. This time of year we are in education and planning mode!
If you read our latest newsletter you know we had an agritourism conference coming up. We attended the 4 day NAFDMA conference in Lexington, KY this past Friday - Monday.
Matt and I LOVE attending these kind of things and we are thrilled to say we learned so much and gained so much inspiration for our 2025 season and beyond.
So what’s this alll about??? NAFDMA is an organization that stands for “North American Farmers’ Direct Marketing Association”. The membership includes hundreds of other pumpkin patches, orchards, Christmas tree farms, farmers markets, flower farms, and more!
The 4 day conference was broken down like this:
Day 1: Farm tour day! We loaded up on tour buses and visited 3 different farms for behind-the-scenes tours of their operations.
Day 2: Expo day! We got to see all the cool products that 130 vendors had to offer. We saw everything from gem mining, apple cannons, canned goods, lotions, giant slides, and jump pillows to farm consultants, insurance agents, and more. It was tons of fun and we got lots of great ideas!
Days 3 and 4: Education days! Each day was filled with of 8 different educational sessions to choose from multiple hours of the day. There were so many great speakers offering valuable information that we can apply to make our farm even better!
We’re excited to make 2025 the best year yet! Thanks for following along on our journey!
*CLOSED FOR THE SEASON* Thank you everyone for our most incredible season ever!!!! We are now closed until next fall. Your support of our family business keeps us going year after year!
We also want to give a big shout out to our amazing staff who worked so hard with us all fall to make Country Pumpkins the special place that it is. Truly, we are blessed.
❤ Rest and family time are in our future......won’t be long until we start planning for 2025. ❤
Blessings,
The Colson Family

Thank you for an amazing Saturday! We appreciate you all so much! We have an important sunflower update.
We will NOT have our sunflower field open tomorrow, Sunday 10/20. We are SO sorry about this! The blooms have been slower to open than we anticipated and we had a big turn out today. As a result the field is currently picked clean.
There are MANY more blooms to come, they just need more time. We apologize for any inconvenience. We try our best to plan and promote but sometimes things don’t go as planned, especially when you’re waiting for a flower to bloom. 🤪
We’ll keep you posted on the sunflower field re-opening. Should definitely be in good shape by next weekend if not before.
Our fall festival will be open Sunday 12-5 as usual!
It’s a BEAUTIFUL day to visit the pumpkin patch! Come see us from 10am - 7pm at Country Pumpkins in Dry Ridge, KY! Make your fall memories at a real working farm in the country this year. ❤️
